The South Shore Women's Hockey League (SSWHL) consists of over 25 women's ice hockey teams representing the Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire areas.  The league and it's teams are USA Hockey registered, and consist of 4 Senior Divisions - A, B, C, and D, coinciding with the USA Hockey designation for the women's divisions.

 

This website was created to keep those teams informed about the various aspects of the league, and is hopefully a useful resource for players wishing to get more involved with women's ice hockey, in addition to a tool for the league's participants. 

 

The Bulletin Board section below will be a posting of all league events, and can be used to inform team administrators of meetings, players of available ice times, teams looking for players and/or coaches, etc.

TEAMS LOOKING FOR PLAYERS/COACHES


COACH NEEDED FOR THE PUMAS - The Pumas are a C2 team looking for a coach. Just moving to C2 from D this coming season. Most of the team has played together for 3+ years. Our team performs adequately without a bench coach, but much more effectively with a bench coach. We really benefit from the direction and leadership of a coach. Practice ice in the past has been every other week in Brookline beginning in November and running until March. Team commitment to practice is about 60-75% of the team on any given week. Contact Dawn at dawntosca@ymail.com with questions or if interested.

PRACTICE ICE AVAILABLE -


The Storm has practice ice on Wednesday nights at Athletic Facility at the Dexter School in Brookline from 11/16/2011 thru 3/7/2012, and we are looking for a team that would like to share the ice. The cost will be split evenly between Storm and the other team. The cost is $320/hour, so your half would be $160. Each team will use one half of the ice. Full ice drills and short scrimmages upon agreement of both teams. The schedule below is the hours we have remaining at Dexter. All the hours are Wednesday nights, and it’s a full 60 minute hour. The hours vary, none of them before 7:45 and none after 9:00pm start time.

Any team interested in all or some of the hours, contact Tim at stormhockey0708@gmail.com or Stacey at questions@stormwomenshockey.com.

If you know of any team looking for practice ice, please feel free to pass this along.

You can log your workouts into their "virtual gym" and be eligible to win daily prizes up to $1,000! I made a workout team called "Women Hockey Jocks".

These are awesome, at-home workouts - very doable - very affordable - no excuses.
